Professional Development: Workshop and Events


Adapting Leadership to the Best and Worst of Times

Sabina Nawaz shares real life examples of how Harvard leadership guru Ronald Heifetz’ adaptive leaders bridge gaps between organizational aspirations and operational capacity that cannot be closed by the expertise and procedures currently in place.

This learning event is a fit-to-match companion to Harvard Prof. Robert Kegan’s two-day workshop on Immunity to Change in which participants stand to gain a mastery of recognizing and releasing personal and other peoples’ anchors and move forward with constructive, adaptive behaviours.

May 17, 2012 from 6:00-8:30pm at the BCIT downtown Vancouver campus.
Limited seats only, reserve now.

BC ODN Signature Event – June 2012

“Dr. Robert Kegan on Immunity to Change”
BCODN proudly brings Robert Kegan, world-renowned Harvard psychologist and award-winning author, to Vancouver for two inspiring learning events: an evening keynote and a full-day workshop. Join us for one or both of these exciting events!
Drawing on 30 years of research and practice in “mindset psychology,” Dr. Kegan suggests a hidden mechanism can be reset, enabling us to make the changes we want in life and work. The shift of this hidden mechanism has implications at individual, group and organizational levels.

OD in the Community

BCO Projects Assessments
On Thursday, Jan 12, 2012, OD professionals who provided volunteer services to three projects of Building Community Organizations (BCO) gathered to share experiences and lessons learned. Each had a great story to give, developing new insights on OD practice and enjoying working with peers. BCO is a forum for OD professionals to give back to the community providing not-for-profit organizations with top notch change management services.
